| Riding the Semantic Web - Matthias Vandermaesen
Lately, there was much ado about this thing called the Semantic Web. Dries Buytaert put the topic on the forefront in his DrupalConSF Keynote earlier this year. But what is the Semantic Web? Why is it important? And what's Drupals' role in this? Krimson has been part of a research project sponsored by IWT called Archipel (http://www.archipel-project.be). Our role in the project is to publish Linked Open data, stored in a shared repository, in a consistent fashion...

| Hack Your Way Through The Drupal API: A Development Intro For Themers - Baris Wanschers
You can dream PHPtemplate, you're the best theming ninja in your village and you scream VIEWS before the client even asked you about this News overview? But as it is with Drupal: a module nearly does exactly what your client needs for his requirements and that leaves you (or the client) with two options: accept it as it is, or let some PHP guru develop a custom module that fulfills all needs. But did you know that just knowing the basics of module development can help you save the day? Or at lea...

| Drupal's New Localization Infrastructure And Where Do You Fit In - Gábor Hojtsy
Drupal.org's new localization infrastructure is coming together with translations moving from drupal.org entirely to localize.drupal.org, decoupling from projects and making it easier for translators to contribute, and users to update to the latest translations. This new system however requires that you learn some new ways of working with localization. The Drupal APIs have not changed for this - although Drupal 7 introduced some very nice goodies, which we will cover - but you should be prepared...

Shortcuts and dashboards and overlays and contextual links... oh my! There are a lot of new features in Drupal 7 that were introduced with the aim of making Drupal easier to use, but the truth is this: Although these features and tools have great potential, they won't be very helpful if contributed module authors don't use them. In order to make actual Drupal sites more usable, all the modules on the site - both core and contrib - need to work together to deliver a clear and consistent administr...

| Coder Module: Easily Port Modules To Drupal 7 - Stella Power
Drupal has a number of coding standards that all contributed Drupal modules and themes should be using. Instead of each developer coding in their own preferred style, they are asked to write all code according to the standards outlined in the document. This ensures that all of Drupal's code is written to a consistent standard, making it easier to understand and modify. Drupal also provides its own set of API functions, and as the drop is always moving, a large number of these API functions can c...
